[Qgis-psc] Supporting QGIS Server development

Fri Jun 23 08:57:24 PDT 2017

HI all,

So I wonder how we can proceed here. Some agree, there is noone that
disagrees but no decision?

How can we proceed? Do we need a Loomio vote from voting members or is a
PSC decision enough?

It seems like all agree about the 3k contribution for the WXS parser
removal project from 3Liz, but how about the other plans from Oslandia? Do
we need more information about these additional projects?

Tim - I am specifically asking you for a decision on the way forward -
otherwise we will still discuss the same issues in 2-3 weeks from now and
QGIS 3 will be released without a proper rewrite of QGIS server.

If we can set a transparent decision process we can use the same process
for other similar projects (in or outside of the QGIS grants process).

Thanks,
Andreas
